WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump said Monday he’s placing the Washington, D.C., police department under federal control and deploying the National Guard to make the nation’s capital safer.

Trump has promised new steps to tackle homelessness and crime in Washington, prompting the city’s mayor to voice concerns about the potential use of the National Guard to patrol the streets.

Ahead of a news conference, Trump said Monday on social media that the nation’s capital would be “LIBERATED today!” He said he would end the “days of ruthlessly killing, or hurting, innocent people.”

Violent crime in Washington D.C. is actually at a 30 year low.

    “Conflict”, “everlasting war”, “dumbshit religious conflict”…

    Bruh… just say genocide if you aren’t a genocide denier. You dont deny there is a genocide in Palestine, do you? No? Then stop the disingenuous casting of it as a normal, symmetrical war.

    Leftists who refused to vote for Kamala did not do so because of “conflict”. Leftists who chose not to vote for Kamala did so because of genocide. Stop whitewashing. Engage honestly with the actual leftist position instead of your strawman.
